Some might say she’s thrown her life away. By age twenty, in fact, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. It is not a pretty story, I’ll say that much. Trigger warnings for murder, drugs, rape. The whole story ran a bit slow, and I had a hard time keeping track of all the House names and what they did, but thank heavens there’s an appendix at the back to help with that! I loved Alex’s ferocity and enjoyed the Darlington POVs as well. I honestly hadn’t expected the end to put in such a bang, but it made all the slowly developing mystery and plot worth the read. Well color me enthralled and just a dash of impressed.
